Playful takes on Korean classics & seafood in cozy, white-walled space.
What a fantastic experience!! We entered with high expectations and enjoyed a meal that exceeded them. The food and service were impeccable. Starters we sampled included the expertly composed Fluke Crudo (which was refreshing and delicious), Gamja Buchim (tuna sashimi on a potato pancake with wasabi-infused sour cream!), Dukboki Fundido (an incredible internationally-influenced dish incorporating Oaxacan cheese and Mexican chorizo alongside thick Asian noodles) and Grilled Oysters (savory and d

Wow, if you’re looking for comfort, elevated Korean dishes, definitely come by for a try! I dined here solo but they made me feel some comfortable. The portions are big, especially the apps. So flavorful!

I came across this beautiful, clean, and charming Korean café, and I absolutely loved it. The atmosphere is warm, relaxing, and modern, making it a great spot whether you’re meeting friends, spending time with family, or having a casual meeting with coworkers. I’ve been here several times already, and every visit has been a great experience. The staff are always friendly and welcoming, and the quality of their drinks and food has consistently impressed me. I highly recommend giving this place

One of the best wing spots in NYC. The flavors are on point, and that crunch is nothing to play with.I usually go with the Spicy and the Korean BBQ — both hit every time. The wings are a decent size, not tiny, and they stay crispy. A 10-piece with coleslaw or radish runs $18.50, which feels fair for the quality and flavor. Definitely a go-to spot for wings

We came here with my friends for tteokbokki and hotpot, and we really enjoyed the experience. The staff were extremely friendly and very helpful throughout our meal. They were always around whenever we needed anything and ready to assist us without us even having to ask. They constantly checked our table, refilling our water before we ran out, making sure our stove was working properly, and even helping us cook our food. One of my friends was having trouble using chopsticks, and a staff member

It was definitely special to end the year at Naro! The cocktails to start were innovative and delicious while the food overall did not disappoint! For apps, the softshell crab was tasty, crunchy and soft on the inside while for mains we got the lobster and beef bowl which was definitely delicious and for dessert the chocolate cake was the perfect way to end the meal. Super bonus points for being seated facing the rink which made the experience more magical and romantic.

For dinner is 25$ AYCE, but only vegetables, any proteins are additional upcharge depending on whether meat or seafood. The variety of vegetables is very large, almost all variety of greens you can think of, and multiple mushroom options. If you are strictly a veggie person, the deal is a good one for shabu, but if you are a protein eater, it would probably work out more cost effective to go a place, and pay 30$ + that would have a much smaller veggie options, but you get to have as much protein

The Spicy Scallion Sauce was literally to die for! The delicious salmon, the crunch of the shallots, and the tanginess of the pickled cucumber made it all perfect! You can actually pick two p

I went to Mad for Chicken today with one other person, which was a Wednesday around 6:30pm. There were plenty of seats and we didn’t have to wait. We were greeted with a complimentary popcorn, which was delicious! The waiter was also incredibly attentive to our table and made sure to check on us occasionally. The ambiance is dim, kind of like a bar restaurant without too much noise. It’s a great spot for a date night out. We ordered 20 pieces of wings, half with soy garlic and the other half wit

The drinks and food were both incredibly delicious. My bestie and I visited on a Friday night and tried a mix of seasonal and signature cocktails. Each drink was flavorful, well balanced, and thoughtfully made. The food was equally impressive—fresh, delicious, and nicely balanced in flavor, with a great mix of sweetness and saltiness. It’s a wonderful place to come with friends for great drinks, good food, and a relaxed conversation. The staff were also very friendly and helpful, which made th

Cozy counter-serve eatery preparing Korean staples including bibimbap, ramen & kimchi fried rice.
First went here more than 10 years ago. The food was ok. Got to visit again last year, ordered both cold and hot bibimbap, and they were both good. I do prefer the hot ones. Lately, I've been really into their seafood udon. Their broth taste of seafood and pairs perfectly with the udon.

Everything was good here. Quality of food was really good. Ableit not your traditional Korean service. They only do one banchan, kimchi salad ( not sure if it’s kimchi) it’s raw cabbage with a sweet pepper mayo made the same day and it’s pretty good. Place is small, a bit pricey. Wouldn’t come back more than once in a while but would definitely recommend you try aleast once. The crab noodle was our favorite.

Casual eatery with fried chicken and some Asian-influenced dishes like kimchi fried rice, ramen, stir-fried chicken gizzard, grilled squid, etc. We got the B Combo, which was fried boneless chicken, along with fries and cheese balls. The chicken was moist and flavorful. The cheese balls were amazing and mildly sweet. We also had the spicy ricecakes. The place had a sports bar vibe, with mostly young people but there were families too.

Korean takeaway nook prepping meat, seafood & veggie pockets, plus milk tea & coffee.
Got the set of 8 for $25 + tax (so about $3.40 each)! We enjoyed all of them (crabmeat, avocado, mushroom, spicy mushroom, beef bulgogi, spicy chicken). I think the spicy chicken was my favorite, it wasn’t too spicy but very flavorful. Not necessary the cheapest ever but 3 of them filled me, the portion was enough for a light lunch. The mango matcha latte ($7 for a large) was amazing, a little hard to mix at first but good size and yummy. Service was fast and friendly, there was plenty of indo

agree with all the reviews saying this place is soulless. extremely snotty, rude, despicable bouncers who have no patience or understanding whatsoever. especially the black bouncer with braids over his head, he will get extremely physical and confrontational with you. this business needs to reprimand or reform these bouncers. incredibly distasteful. do not come here unless you want to be charged $15+ per drink. all the staff were incredibly weird about people waiting for the bathroom line and wa

Everything we ordered was delicious. The jambon gimbap is a must-try, seriously. We also tried both the coffee and the ade, and they were all excellent. The space is roomy with a cozy interior, making it a great place to relax. If you’re looking for a laid-back weekend brunch spot and you truly care about good food, I’d highly recommend this place.

We decided finally to try Koba a newer takeout place in the neighborhood serving Korean food. We ordered two lunchbox sets. On both, we got bulgogi and assorted veggie’s. I went in to order and waited to take it home. Will send pics of food next time. All was good. In May 2026, I went to Koba again to pickup dishes to eat at home.

The cold noodles was almost like peanut butter noodles but on a way better level. The sauce was very savory! Perfect for super hot summer day. Felt really clean to eat that and the salad!

Upscale Korean restaurant offering a chef's tasting menu with beverage pairings in chic environs.
I’m amazed by how far human civilization has evolved. Honestly better than all the three star Michelin restaurants I’ve been to. From the seating and tableware to the presentation, flavors, textures, drinks, and service, everything felt incredibly thoughtful and refined. My favorites were the first three appetizers, the sesame tofu, the sujebi, and the mugwort ice cream dessert. The progression of flavors was wonderful, and the drinks paired perfectly with the food, I especially loved the refre

Every dish had nice balance, and I could feel the details in seasoning and presentation. The room is stylish but not cold, and service was friendly and smooth. I like that it feels special but still enjoyable, not too stiff. とても美味しかったです. It is a great restaurant for dinner with friends, date, or people who want Korean food in more elevated style. I would

Kuun is an absolute must-visit for the best Korean food in Downtown Brooklyn! Our dinner was amazing. We started with crispy mandu, delicious kimbap, and savory jeon. The main dishes were spectacular: perfectly grilled LA kalbi BBQ and a rich, comforting seafood tofu soup. Highly recommend this fantastic restaurant for its authentic flavors, cozy atmosphere, and great service!

A great hole-in-the-wall Korean restaurant. They only serve one dish (or rather, bowl). And it's beef and cabbage soup with rice. Also known as Sogogi-gukbap (소고기 국밥). Only 2 questions are asked: 1) how many people? 2) spicy or not spicy? And those are the only questions that need to be asked. The servers are nice and attentive. There's a reason why this place has been here for as long as it has. The food is delicious and the best way to describe it is: just like mom used to make it.

This ramen place is an absolute delight! The black garlic oil ramen was incredibly tasty, and it was even better when paired with the lime-based highball cocktail. We visited on a Sunday night, about two hours before closing, and there were surprisingly only a few customers. A few more trickled in after us. The service was excellent, and we’ll definitely be back when we return to NYC! Overall rating: 5/5

Two families (11 adults) visited for dinner recently. Since Sam Won Gahk is under new management and likely has a new chef, I was initially worried the restaurant might lose its diverse menu, signature flavors, or quality of service. Fortunately, they have maintained everything that made them great - in fact, the presentation and taste of the dishes are now significantly better. We were very happy with our meal, though the service was slightly lacking. The waitress wasn't as attentive as we'd h

Straightforward Korean eatery with tabletop BBQ grills, plus traditional soups & noodle dishes.
Always my go to for Korean LA galbi. My kids love it here. The service is great and a lot of side dishes. It’s a family vibe and pretty decently sized for large parties. Prices on moderate side as they follow the typical pricing of galbi. They do offer to bypass card fees if you pay cash - they give you a discount.

If I could, I'd give 4.5 stars, and the only reason I'm holding back is because this place was great but we ordered a limited amount. The interior is cute and comfortable and all the servers were attentive and knowledgable. We had a reservation and had no issues being seated immediately. We started with the hamachi which was 10/10 delicious. Light and refreshing and a great start to the meal.

Osamil Upstairs is an absolute gem. From the moment you walk in, the cozy furniture and intimate setting make it feel like a hidden retreat above the city. The cocktails are on a completely different level—thoughtfully crafted, unique, and genuinely memorable. Every drink felt like its own experience rather than just something to sip on. Even the iced latte is just crazy good—smooth, rich, and honestly one of the best I’ve had in the city. We also ordered the charcuterie board, and it was just

Urbane restaurant with an open kitchen specializing in gourmet Korean hand rolls.
Just how good can hand rolls be? Turns out it can be pretty darn good. This restaurant exceeded my expectations by a wide margin. The appetizers were amazing, the caviar and eggs and the morel both were full of umami. The hand rolls each had a unique flavor and very picturesque. The dessert and cocktails were also great. The only letdown is the supplement dish Tuna y Tuna which tasted fishy and did not pair well with the sauce. Overall a very enjoyable Michelin star meal and I would definitely r

This place was a vibe. Was introduced to it because the head chef came to a work event and served the whipped yuzu ricotta toast and I had to come try the food in person. Had the legendary burger. So good. The sauce was top tier and the bread was soft and didn’t fall apart. We also got the chopped cheese rice cakes and I was obsessed after the first bite. We also had the tots and they complimented everything well. Can’t wait to come back

Food 4/5 Service 3.5/5 Ambiance 4/5 This spot is known for its Bulgogi (4.25/5), and it absolutely lived up to the hype. It's one of my favorites in the city because it's not overly sweet like most places, making it much more enjoyable. Squid Kimchi Pancake (4.5/5): This was my personal favorite. The kimchi was incredibly flavorful and the pancake was perfectly thin. The con was that it was a bit small and there could have more of a "crisp" Limited time Spicy Pork Rib (4/5): Very meaty. Most

It's a decent comfortable lounge, with good WiFi. Not at all crowded when I was there. Adequate toilet facilities so no lines- the men's room had two stalls and a urinal (I've been in lounges that had just one for each sex resulting in waits and even some that had no toilets- you had to go out to the ones in the terminal) and two sinks.

We had a group of 5 for AYCE on a Saturday. Lindsey was our server and she was very attentive and helpful! We came hungry and left happy and full!

We have been eating the spicy stir-fried squid rice from Chung Moo for many years, and we came back again today. This place has been around for a long time, and there’s always a very homey, old-school feeling inside. I believe there is also an older Korean lady working there, which makes it feel even more like a small family-run spot. Their food is made fresh after you order, so you may need to wait a little bit, but it’s worth it. Their spicy squid rice is honestly my favorite one. Personally,

They only put kimchi and soy sauce, tofu and 2 to 3 pieces of white fish and meatless crab. So disappointed. And also the service is also so bad. I also ordered fried
